About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of artificial intelligence-assisted discharge education on mothers of children hospitalized with bronchitis/bronchiolitis. A total of 162 mothers will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: AI-assisted written discharge education, AI-assisted video discharge education, or routine discharge education. The primary outcome will be mothers' knowledge of home care after discharge. Secondary outcomes will include anxiety, readiness for hospital discharge, and satisfaction with discharge education. The study hypothesizes that AI-assisted written and video discharge education will improve mothers' knowledge and readiness for discharge, reduce anxiety, and increase satisfaction compared with routine discharge education.

Treatments tested in this trial
AI-Assisted Written Discharge Education
BehavioralA written discharge education booklet developed with support from ChatGPT based on standard discharge content and expert review.

Routine Discharge Education
BehavioralStandard discharge education routinely provided by the institution.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Maternal Knowledge Score Regarding Home Care After Discharge
Maternal knowledge will be assessed using a 10-item true/false knowledge test developed according to the content of the discharge education. Each correct answer is scored as 1 and each incorrect answer as 0, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Readiness for Hospital Discharge
Readiness for hospital discharge will be assessed using the 26-item Pediatric Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (Ped-RHDS). Higher scores indicate greater readiness for hospital discharge.
Change in Maternal Anxiety Level
Maternal anxiety will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no anxiety and 10 indicates the highest level of anxiety. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.
Maternal Satisfaction With Discharge Education
Satisfaction with discharge education will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the discharge education.
